This unit description states that it is a newer model, yet the price is lower. What am I missing? Will this unit do everything the old model does?

Yes! I haven't used it to record - only for watching live TV. I had to reset the channels a couple times to get rid of all the foreign channels I didn't want. It's reset the 1080i setting overnight a couple times and the transparency setting. So a couple glitches. The remote is large and easy to navigate and the HD picture quality is crisp, clean and clear. I paid $38 with shipping and am satisfied.

The 2nd unit I bought was cheaper than the first (~$43 vs ~$30?) but it works just as well. I really like that I can record (hi-def, so ~8GB/ hour) onto usb stick/drive. No complaints. There is/are upgrades to the firmware and sites/forums that deal with this unit. I could go on, the remote can transfer functions from most other remotes onto a select number of buttons on the remote.

I am interested in knowing this answer as well. $100 difference in price but I don't see very little difference in features.

Yes the model sent to me was the upgraded one. Call customer service a ask them to send you the upgraded model. We have a lot of fun with the unit we purchased.

I simply replaced the old one w/o comparing the two. I did not "notice" any difference from old to new. It wasn't like, "WOW. this is amazing!!" I should have replaced one and compared, but I did not. sorry no help.

Can you not see the price on the page? Or if you click "new" it takes you to a page with everyone's price but I believe I have it for $250 when it retails for around $350 I believe but I was cheaper than everyone else and mine is new but open box unit. Thank you

The one I ordered was a "refurbished" model about $40 cheaper. The second one I got works great.

The black model is under review but the blue one isn't. However the blue one is now out of stock.I don't think the problem is with the unit itself but possibly with the wording in the description. There are different models of the 1005HA and maybe Amazon was shipping the wrong model, or a model that didn't meet all of the specifications.

I don't know what they mean by "old version"...pictured is the same V2 we purchased about six years ago and also the same unit currently being sold at B&H. Unless there's been some software or firmware update that I'm not aware, I think it's the same beast it's always been.

It looks like the lower priced one might be used. Not absolutely but I think that's what is indicated when you read the detail. Read the descriptions on both of them but I believe the $300 lists it as NEW and the lower-priced one does not list "NEW"

The unit I purchased was new. It still operates well. If you'll recall, I was railing against refurbished units and a reader directed me to a site where new units were available.

Amazon didnt sell you the unit. You got it from a 3rd party that sells on amazon. Hence this is why you guys cant price match. Always make sure it says IN STOCK AND SOLD BY AMAZON.COM. Under the price.

I don't know but I imagine you might find it in researching it; typically, unless the price difference is huge I go with the latest technology; this may not be a situation where it's significant but might be worth looking into; good luck; it's a great little unit; I've been extremely pleased!

Yeah, its back. BUT will it go down in price after I buy it, since there's not one but two newer models? . It's enough to pull one's hair out. But I'm 100% sure that I want THIS one. That's something at least.

I don't know anything about the older version so I can't help you, sorry. New is good?

I can't believe the current price! I bought this unit about three years ago for $100 and now the price has more than tripled? What gives, Amazon?

Yeah, my guess is that they're trying to get rid of the older model. Here's the contact info:http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-us/call-me.htmlYou type in your phone number and they call you back right away. Good luck

I have no idea why it's priced so high. I bought mine at Walmart at a much lower price. This is actually now an older version, too.
